Israel evacuates UNRWA in Jerusalem with Ben-Gvir involved
The Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced the evacuation of a UNRWA facility in Kafr Aqab, East Jerusalem, where the land will be transferred to the Jerusalem municipality for investment in building schools, mosques, and sports and health facilities. The ministry confirmed that UNRWA had been operating there without ownership rights or permits. Israeli extreme-right Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir participated in the evacuation operation, following the fire that damaged UNRWA’s headquarters in East Jerusalem last February, which resulted from a previous Israeli demolition of the site. Israel considers the property unlicensed and views the operation as part of efforts to undermine the status of Palestinian refugees.
